Abstract
Periodontal plastic surgery has been developed around dental implants as implantology has expanded and esthetic demand for replacements has grown. Keratinized mucosa thickness of at least 2mm is recommended to achieve the esthetic appearance and prevent recessions around implant prosthetic rehabilitation. Failure to recognize existing or to anticipate future soft tissue deficiencies may risk the success of dental implants.
